Were Raleigh still fitting suicide levers in '87?

And looks all original as well plus itās probably hardly been used, itās still got the plastic caps on the front wheel nuts used in shipping. Original bar tape and saddle too. The Winner was a budget model produced mainly for the yoof market.
Nice find, how did you come by it?

Agreed, it's had very little use for it's age.
I've just been looking at a '86 model on Fleabay and that has the extra levers on.There were no Raleigh under BB cable guide frames in 1977, the kit is later than 77 so had a 50-50 choice

purchased in my village for 20 quid, still learning about it and bikes in general, had to buy a new derailleur which a friend fitted, cleaned the wheels and crank to the best of my ability but still not 100%, the handlebar tape still had a film over it even though it has discoloured slightly, im surprised how many on here like it, it will have to do me until I find a spare grand kicking about for one like everyone else rides š

What's not to like? Lugged steel frame in a gorgeous blue and white with tanwall tyres

I once saw a bike with swastikas all over it. The owner said it was a Nazi Raleigh.
